Tom is only sixty-two,
but, like anyone at that ripeness of age, there’s a tendency to view the world
negatively.I do the same.I tend to see flaws, but would subjectively
say I also like to draw out what is not pejorative.Tom is lively, though, and chuckles enough at
any discussion.For someone who has
collected 5000 comics over the years, you’ve got to be an optimist.There’s always a happy ending.

To put in my two
nickels worth (pennies make no sense [cents] these days), I must add that we
cannot be naïve about the world’s current state of affairs.I reflect on the misdirection of today—the
deception.The big lie. “I am this body,” is
the huge fib.In truth, “I am spirit.”

In ’96, on my first
marathon walk, many newspapers covered my story.It made the front page of Sudbury’s main paper.The article made reference to my statement
about this “Big Lie.”

I came upon a
statement by Mark Twain on the subject of lying.“A lie can travel halfway around the world
while the truth is putting on its shoes.”

ABOUT ME

I am a disciple of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and I became a monk of the Hare Krishna order in 1973. My teacher gave me the spiritual name, Bhaktimarga Swami, which means "the path of devotion". Of course, this fits right in with my avid promotion of walking adventures as a way to connect with the Divine and lead a more care-free / car-free lifestyle. It is a great joy to share these adventures in both Canada and abroad with you via my daily blog.
